we're about to take you inside a cnn exclusive. no holds barred town hall meeting where parents, students, and teachers take their questions straight to education secretary arne duncan. we sat down yesterday at carver early college high school here in atlanta, and i began by asking the secretary, considering the billions we spend each year, is education a right or a privilege? >> every child in this country, every single child must have a world-class education. and i've said repeatedly there was a day, you know, 30 years ago in which if you dropped out of high school that was actually okay. you could drop out of high school and go get a job someplace and support your family and own a home. there are no good jobs out there for high school dropouts. there are virtually no good jobs for high school graduates. some form of higher education has to be the goal for every single one of our young people here. four-year universities, two-year community colleges, trade, technical, vocational training.
